More than 4.7 thousand Astrakhan families received payments for newborns
In 2026, the Department of the Social Fund of Russia for the Astrakhan region sent 135 million rubles to support young parents. One-time payment at the birth of a child issued 4.7 thousand families of the region.
According to the agency, payments were distributed between 2.7 thousand working and more than 2 thousand non-working parents. The amount of the benefit, taking into account indexation, is 28,450.45 rubles. If twins or triplets were born in the family, the amount is paid for each of the children. The right to receive funds does not depend on the level of income, property or official employment of parents.
The mechanism of registration depends on the employment status of the family. The benefit is granted to working parents without application: the funds are transferred automatically on the basis of birth data that are received by the Social Fund from the registry office. If both parents are employed, the payment goes to the mother, if only the father – to him.
Non-working Astrakhan citizens, including full-time students, must apply to receive money. This can be done in the client service of the OSFR or through the portal "State Services". The main condition is to apply for benefits within six months after the birth of the baby.
